“Jeannie was an absolute angel! I have a senior/blind dog with special needs and she and her family embraced and took excellent care of my beloved fur son! Frequent updates, over the top care, the list goes on and on. 10/10, recommend. Zeus will be visiting again!”


“All good! Thank you for taking care of Steely, our quirky and a bit anxious boy. He hung out with Danielle and a good-natured golden doodle. Sounds like it was a perfect pairing that calmed him down and brought out his playful side. Thanks for everything, Danielle!”



“Eric is great!!! He made my vale feel right at home. He kept me updated with pictures and comments. I will definitely have him take cate of my lil boy again. I’m so happy I found someone outside my family trust line to care for Valentino. Thank you so much”



“Peggy was wonderful to our little Oscar. She messaged multiple times a day as requested and sent pictures of the little guy. She also noticed him biting his paws due to allergies and alerted me right away. I was in an area with bad service and did not get the message right away so she went ahead and reached out to my vet and scheduled a time to go in because he had chewed his paw to the point where he was bleeding. By the time I found out she was already on top of it. She took him and brought him home with a cone and gave him medication as prescribed. She even followed up asking about him days later once we picked him up. You can just tell that Peggy is an animal lover. I will absolutely be booking Peggy again, i love the fact that she only takes one dog in at a time because you know the full attention is going to your animal. Thank you Peggy!”


“Jill and her family are the best! Jill completely eased MY separation anxiety by taking the most wonderful care of our Khaleesi. She sent pictures and kept me updated on Khaleesi's stay. Thank you so much, Jill and family! ♡♡♡♡”


“I don't know where to start. They took care of our dog for 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I received daily updates with pictures, videos and kind words. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter’s family and I will use them again without doubt. Thank You!!”


“Since I contacted her she was very responsive and was willing to take care of Leo as a last minute trip option. She took care of my dog Saturday and Sunday and her and her husband were very communicative. Sending pictures and videos of my dog. I was very happy he got the attention he needed. I will definitely book with them again for a next time 🤗”


About: Hi, I’m Jilliane — a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m 42 years old and have had pets my entire life, including through multiple international relocations. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. I offer calm, consistent, and loving care. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight sitting, or drop-ins while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like family. I understand the unique needs of both high-energy and senior pets, and I always follow care instructions to the letter. I have experience with a wide variety of dog and cat breeds, including those with special dietary, behavioral, and medical needs. Your home and your pets will be in responsible, respectful hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry crew! Quick Facts… - Experienced with senior dogs and cats - Comfortable administering oral medications - Flexible availability - Clean, respectful, and communicative - Can accommodate special routines and diets - Experience with a variety of dog & cat breeds As a full-time pet care provider (and former housewife), I’ll be home and fully present with your pet for the entire visit—plenty of attention, love, and care! I have a fully fenced 5 acres with walking paths throughout. Your pets will have the best time on their own vacation here at The Lodge! While every pet will be looked after like they’re my own, each will wear an Apple tag with location shared to their parents for peace of mind.

“Kimberly was great to work with. She was very accommodating and worked with us even when our schedule changed. She sent pictures of Bella and communication was great the entire time. Bella looked very happy and relaxed the entire stay!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have always been interested in having a career working with animals but decided to be a stay at home mother instead, now all my babies are in school full time and am very excited to start this journey and be able to put my passion for animals to work! I’m a stay at home mom with two small dogs. I am home all day and available for all your fur babies needs! I am up early and late and available all day for them. I have a nice sized fenced in yard and I am available to be with them all day and night for any needs they have.

“Dominic was a wonderful sitter for my pups. He was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. He even had a pool party for them during the extreme heat. Thank you VERY much. Highly recommend👍😊”


About: I have a ton of experience pet sitting and checking in on pets throughout the day as well as dog walking. I also have a lot of experience working with senior aged animals. I am very confident in my skills and would love the opportunity to help out anyone who needs it. I am super flexible with hours and always available. I am currently on summer break from school so right now I have all the time in the world. Once September starts I will have to go back to school but I only have a few classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I would only be away from, the animals for two hours at most. Caring for pets in their home is my preferred way to do it because they are familiar with the environment. I have experience watching pets in all types of and different types of outdoor access. So even if there is no screened in fence, I am able to deal with that.

“Niratcha has been great. Very informative, sent me pictures and videos daily, I truly felt so comfortable leaving Kahu with this family. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back next time ?”


“Wonderful experience for both us and our dog. She was kind and welcoming making our girl feel right at home. She also was a wonderful communicator. Her picture updates and videos made me feel at ease while we were out of town. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Geraldene!! Her care and compassion for our Luna was top notch!! Highly recommend!”
